Willemstad 10 Euro Coin
Everyone who thinks of Willemstad on Curaçao, immediately imagines the colorful buildings at the St. Anna Bay. Willemstad is indeed known for the colorful ‘Dutch’ architecture, but when you get to know the city a little better, you will come to discover the Spanish and Portuguese influences. This mix of different cultures and influence made sure that in 1997, several of the city’s districts were being listed as UNESCO World Heritage. This is also the reason that the Royal Dutch Mint, on behalf of the Ministry of Finance, struck this commemorative coin.
Design
The Willemstad 10 Euro Coin was designed by Cleo Maxime de Brabander. The obverse shows king Willem-Alexander. On the background, the Queen Juliana Bridge in Willemstad is shown. The four stars at the upper part of the obverse represent the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands: Curaçao, Aruba, St. Maarten and The Netherlands. The reverse contains a city view with all four districts that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage: Punda, Otrobanda, Scharloo and Pietermaai. Several important monuments can be discovered on the coin: the Handelskade (commercial quay), the Mikvé Israël-Emanuel synagogue and Fort Amsterdam in Punda and the Emanu-el temple, which marks the start of the district of Pietermaai.
